Mass spectrometric characterization of HSV-1 L-particles from human dendritic cells and BHK21 cells and analysis of their functional role
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) is a very common human pathogenic virus among the world’s 12 population. The lytic replication cycle of HSV-1 is, amongst others, characterized by a tripartite viral 13 gene expression cascade, the assembly of nucleocapsids involving their subsequent nuclear egress, 14 tegumentation, re-envelopment and the final release of progeny viral particles. During productive 15 infection of a multitude of different cell types, HSV-1 generates not only infectious heavy (H-) 16 particles, but also non-infectious light (L-) particles, lacking the capsid. In monocyte-derived mature 17 dendritic cells (mDCs), HSV-1 causes a non-productive infection with the predominant release of L-18 particles. Until now, the generation and function of L-particles is not well understood, however, they 19 are described as factors transferring viral components to the cellular microenvironment. To obtain 20 deeper insights into the L-particle composition, we performed a mass-spectrometry-based analysis of 21 L-particles derived from HSV-1-infected mDCs or BHK21 cells and H-particles from the latter one. 22 In total, we detected 63 viral proteins in both H- and L-particle preparations derived from HSV-1-23 infected BHK21 cells. In L-particles from HSV-1-infected mDCs we identified 41 viral proteins 24 which are differentially distributed compared to L-particles from BHK21 cells. In this study, we 25 present data suggesting that L-particles modify mDCs and suppress their T cell stimulatory capacity. 26 Due to the plethora of specific viral proteins incorporated into and transmitted by L-particles, it is 27 tempting to speculate that L-particles manipulate non-infected bystander cells for the benefit of the 28 virus.
